Isanti County crews ready for snowplowing season

Isanti County snowplow operators are once again prepared for another winter snowplow season. Isanti County maintains 720 highway lane miles with nine snowplow operators and trucks.

County snowplow operators will do their best to keep the county roads safe and passable for the motorists, and would ask the motorists for their help in keeping the roads safe by; 1) driving the appropriate speed for the roadway conditions, 2) staying a safe distance from the snowplow trucks.

Snowplow operators have much to watch while plowing, their vision is frequently impaired due to snow clouds from plowing, and the cleaning of intersections requires the trucks to stop and back up repeatedly.
